Yeah man this picture rulzzzz! lol

I feel like I could dive into this, and find many things that are not even seen up front. very nice, and interesting texture.

How did I miss this? I like it.

I love this@ It has an ethereal and mysterious feel to it

when you look at the picture sideways it looks like it says "kill" except an "L" is missing....

Spooky~

Ya..And, hey..it's looks more like he's wearing one of those glow stick necklaces instead of an oricalcos (or how ever u spell it) necklace..

Shh! Don't tell Dartz that I switched it! :P

I think Allister is my 2nd favorite villian! Keep up the good work

Erm... I'm no expert on realism, but you've got the basics down. I watched the animation, and you started by blocking the main colors in, which is definitely the way to start. Then you started using the blur tool, which, while useful at times, isn't the best in a pic like this. The dodge and burn tools are also dangerous when not used carefully. I much prefer to choose a darker shade of the same or a slightly different color. It's a little extra work, but it shows and gives the picture much more depth. Don't be afraid to shade with unconventional colors--if you're using a ref, and you see the colors there, they will work in the painting. For the fur on your cat, I'd take a very small brush at a low opacity and make short strokes in the basic color you want. Then, add darker tones in the same method. After that, work on the highlights, same way. The best thing that I can say about painting realism is--paint exactly what you see. Sometimes people have a an archetype in their heads, but if you work from that, the proportions can get all wonky and end up looking weird. I always second-guess myself when I'm painting. I hold the ref up, look at it sideways, upside down, whatever, to make sure I've gotten it the way it is. It takes a bit of practice, but with the start you already have, you should do very well. Good luck!

Thank you. I'll try to work on that.:)

How did I miss this one? It's adorable. :)

Thank you all for the comments.

I love the colors in this. It's very nice. I did one of the Ocean City, New Jersey seashore at sunrise. It was from a post card, also.

Ooh, pretty. I love how the colors are so bright and vibrant, yet this is a very calm, passive scene.

The original shining. with Jack nicholson. Funny, doesn't remind me of him though. :}

I love his grin and that how he's blending into the tiles.

I love this picture. The hair is awesome. It reeeally is. And is his ear gaged(sp)? That's nifty.
